No other cable-based data transmission medium offers the bandwidth that fiber does. Fiber has a very low rate of bit error (10 EXP-13), as a result of fiber being so resistant to electromagnetic interference. Fiber-optic transmission are virtually noise free. Fiber provides an extremely secure transmission medium, as there is no way to detect the data being transmitted by
"listening in" to the electromagnetic energy "leaking" through the cable, as is possible with traditional, electron-based transmissions. By constantly monitoring an optical network and by carefully measuring the time it takes light to reflect down the fiber, splices in the cable can be easily detected.

Hilton Hotel Sydney Australasia Food and Beverage Masters competition 2015

Hilton Hotel Sydney Food and Beverage Masters competition 2015 photos images story: MiSociety
Hilton F&B Masters competition – Girls rule again at another Australian Cup
Hilton Sydney showcased world-class culinary, cocktail and coffee creations at the inaugural 2015 Australasia Food and Beverage Masters competition held at their popular Zeta Bar.
Hilton team members were vying for the Barista, Wine and Bar Cups this day with the Culinary Cup set for Wednesday 2 December at Ultimo Tafe. National finalists will compete at the Australasian competition held on 21st January 2016 at Hilton Sydney.
Competition was fierce and the professional judging teams very serious. Nerves were obvious as competitors strove to impress with their creations of original cocktails and coffees. As with that other 'Cup' recently the ladies ruled with the Barista Cup taken out by Hitomi Honda and the Wine Cup won by Amandine Rouviere. The Bar Cup was achieved by Dominic Carlesso.
Hilton F&B Masters program is strongly supported by managers who are dedicated to giving their time and skills to assist participants in their preparation. This benefits managers by further developing their own leadership skills and coaching techniques further stimulating their own passion for developing others and seeing their team members succeed.
MiSociety was impressed with the longevity of employment of hotel staff at the Sydney Hilton, this, in an industry that is not particularly renown for this attribute. For instance Ronald van Weezel, General Manager at Hilton Sydney, has been with the company for 37 years having worked all over the world during his time with the organisation.
Hilton F&B Masters was formerly the Hilton Culinary Cup and first held in Europe before expanding to include four disciplines being since held in the Middle East/Africa and more recently in South East Asia. Due to the latter's success, the Asia Pacific region will be represented in 2015/16 with Hilton Sydney named the inaugural host hotel.

As the economy continues to deteriorate, states and localities continue to face daunting challenges in closing budget deficits as revenues continue to fall. In the fall of 2007 the state took significant measures to raise revenues to address a structural deficit that has existed for many years and was being exacerbated by the economic cycles that were to play out (slots referendum, revenue enhancements, budget cuts). The legislature took a beating by the public for these actions but doing nothing was not an option. Since that fall, the state has endured several more rounds of budget cuts as revenue projections worsen. This year the cuts would have been draconian, affecting all major programs including education, which has fared pretty well so far.
Enter the new administration in Washington, with a laser focus on the inherited financial crisis and crash of the housing market. The new federal stimulus dollars were the difference between education facing significant funding cuts and squeaking out a modest increase. Because of the federal monies to the states, especially targeted for education, Maryland prevented rollbacks to the education funding formulas that surely would have meant numerous layoffs around the state as well as cuts in programs. Also significant, this funding also made it possible for the state to continue to fund the annual contribution to the state pension system for teachers, which this year was $760 million.
However, this also brought to light another issue that legislators were grappling with regarding teachers' pensions. The state began to question, in formal discussions this legislative session, the feasibility of continuing to pay the whole employers cost to the retirement/pension system for teachers when they have no control over or say in the negotiated salaries, which are the primary drivers of the annual cost the state makes to the pension system on behalf of the teachers. It was remarked on multiple occasions that Maryland is one of only three states in the country to pay the entire share of the employers' contribution to the pension system. There is a growing consensus among legislators that more parity is needed to help the state deal not only with the continuing state budget challenges, but also to get a handle on the rapidly growing annual contribution to the pension system. Because the state's annual contribution increases precipitously during economic downturns, this relationship becomes even more onerous on the state at a time when it can least afford it.
Historically, the economic strain that the State is under is similar to the very fiscal conditions that have lead to the demise of defined benefit retirement plans in the private sector, so we need to monitor and vigorously participate in the conversation. Defined benefit plans in the public sector have come under increasing attack in recent times as a number of new accounting regulations have been promulgated that place onerous burdens on these types of retirement plans. These new regulations include now requiring public sector plans to calculate, and effectively pre-fund, the cost of providing other retirement benefits such as health care, prescription drug and dental benefits for retirees instead of the customary pay-as-you-go method that has traditionally been used. Also, there are discussions underway that would impact the way current plans value (cost out) current liabilities. The effect of this proposed change would be to make plans look far more expensive and skew the funding ratios (make plans look less funded/solvent than they actually are). All of this is being done under the guise of making traditional defined benefit pension plans more fiscally sound. Its actual effect is to scare employers away from these so called "expensive plans" to more "cost effective" 401(k)-type plans also called defined contribution plans. While these plans are less expensive for employers to administer, they also provide far less security and benefits for retirees in retirement. An example in this economic climate is the number of retirees with only 401(k)s as their primary retirement income vehicle who are now facing dire consequences as they have seen their principle (cash value of the plan) dwindle as the market plunged. These retirees now face such options as re-entering the workplace for additional income, or significantly readjusting their lifestyles to stretch their annuities. In either case, they face the very real prospect of outliving their retirement savings/annuities.
As we work with the legislature to address these challenges, we want to steer clear of anything that resembles moving to defined contribution plans. To this end, we face the very real prospect of looking at some sort of cost sharing of the annual pension contribution between the state and local jurisdictions. The current dire economic condition has changed this notion from "…if this becomes necessary…" to "…when this becomes necessary…". As stated earlier, trying to balance a budget with declining revenues nearly made this option a reality this session. The federal stimulus monies prevented that reality from occurring this year. The problem is that this new federal money is only for two years, which means that when this money runs out the challenge remains how to pay for this growing obligation. The legislature is nearly out of options for balancing the budget and getting a better handle on all mandated spending. We remain committed to working with them on crafting a solution that does as little damage as possible to education. The problem is that there remains very few "tricks" for dealing with a problem of this magnitude – pension cost reaching $1 billion dollars annually in the near future. Having recently raised significant revenues in 2007, there is no political will at the state level to raise additional taxes, while still having a constitutional requirement to balance the budget.

We woke to frost this morning, and sun, at long last. I just turned on some Christmas music and finished the shopping list for my guild's Christmas party which I am hosting next Sunday. I have a few presents to wrap and then Pete and I will have lunch at North Fork Table and Inn. (This is the current home of pastry chef Claudia Fleming, formerly of Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan and a winner of the James Beard Award. I can't wait for dessert!) It's going to be a good day.
My thanks to everyone who called, emailed and commented about Simon's death. Your thoughts and words are all much appreciated. Cairo, who viewed Simon as his primary source of competition, and rightly so, is actually missing him. It was my habit to feed Simon just before I went to bed, so we wouldn't have to smell the stinky stuff, and I always let Cairo lick the spoon. Now that there is no spoon to lick, Cairo won't come to bed. He sits by the kitchen counter waiting to lick the spoon. The first night I had to pick him up and bring him upstairs. He certainly is a creature of habit.
Though waiting for Simon to go was painful and I really miss him, I have to say I do not miss opening the stinky cat food and cleaning the kitty litter, daily chores for 15 years. And last night, when I looked at the living room couch and matching chair with matching cat scratches on the left arms, I realized I could buy new furniture and it would remain intact. Scratching the furniture was Simon's one foible: no matter how many scratching posts or boxes I bought, he always sharpened his claws on the furniture.
So we are all looking forward: to new furniture, to Christmas, to a healthy and prosperous New Year -- except for Cairo, who is still looking for the cat food.

Support the Aventura Finishing Fund
Only a bit more fundraising before Aventura can reach its full potential. We are aiming to raise $30K for post-production to hire professionals with the technical skills able to ensure that our film can effectively reach its distribution goals. For the sake of the story, cast, crew, and investors...we want to see Aventura go places!
Costs Left to Cover:
- Purchase Hard Drives: Ensure our footage is safe and our editors can do their jobs effectively.
- Sound Mixing: Make sure the film sounds squeaky clean. Hearing is half of movie-enjoying.
- Composing: Create an original score that highlights the characters and the story.
- Color Correction: Transform the raw footage into all its eye-catching potential.
- Additional Photography: Re-shoots are a part of any major production. It's a chance to get the shots we missed or ones that can fill any story gaps we may have discovered in the editing room.
- VFX: While there are no spaceships in our movie (that we know of), we will be enlisting visual effects specialists to help with green-screened car scenes, large theater projectors, and more.
- Festivals: In order for Aventura to meet maximum audiences and increased chances for distribution, we are excited to submit to as many festivals that we find to be a good fit!
- Marketing: There are a lot of ins and outs to getting the word out. By setting aside some funds for publicists, prints, advertising, etc., we are building up our target audience and helping the hard work of our cast and crew shine.
1. Donations

Style & Beauty
While Miami's culture promotes fun in the sun, the city's leading experts and spas offer numerous ways to keep your skin healthy while enjoying the outdoors.
Gee Beauty's Ultimate Facial at Bal Harbour Shops will leave you with more youthfullooking, glowing skin.
An alfresco lifestyle is a huge reason thousands of visitors flock to Miami and why residents spend much of their time posting envy-inducing photographs to the Instagram feeds of their northern friends and family. However, the city's outdoor culture can—without the proper attention—be detrimental to people's skin. "Because of our amazing year-round weather, people [here] do tend to get a higher dose of ultraviolet radiation than other areas," says Miami-based plastic surgeon Dr. Rian A. Maercks. "Miamians love the beach, boating, and the water, which adds to this exposure."
On top of that, the city's affinity for skin-baring fashions makes it even more important to protect against the sun's powerful rays. "It's smart to avoid prolonged sun midday, but if that's not an option, you should cover up with long sleeves and pants," says Dr. Leslie Baumann, whose cutting-edge Baumann Cosmetic Dermatology paved the way for such mainstream cosmetic procedures as Botox, Juvéderm, and other treatments. "It's important to know that a white T-shirt only provides an SPF of about 5, so look for apparel designed to shield the skin from UV rays. I also recommend an oral antioxidant supplement called Heliocare, which may provide some extra protection against damaging free radicals generated by the sun."
In fact, most Miami specialists agree that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. "The single most effective thing is a daily prevention routine, [such as] high-quality sunscreen applied appropriately, and daily high-quality antioxidant use," says Dr. Maercks. "It is important to keep in mind that SPF ratings are created based on a generously thick and even application—a type of application I have personally never seen a person in Miami perform. Instead, most people take a small amount of sunscreen and spread it thin to cover a huge area. This can lower the actual SPF by 50 percent or much more."
"The reality is that we live in South Florida and we will—and need to be—outside to live a healthy life," says Dr. Martin N. Zaiac, director of the Greater Miami Skin & Laser Center. "Just do it being sun safe."
"Damages from sun exposure can be corrected with a combination of simple but effective skincare and laser and light-based interventions, combined with some soft-tissue repair with hyaluronic acid-based injectable interventions, such as a procedure called 'aesthetic facial balancing' in my practice," says Dr. Maercks, whose plastic surgery office provides a number of skincare services, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and skin resurfacing. "Patients with extensive sun damage and aging are sometimes better treated with fat and stem cell transfer to repair and reshape their faces." Dr. Rian A. Maercks, 4500 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 104, Miami, 305-328-8256
A leader in cosmetic dermatology, Baumann Cosmetic Dermatology offers a wealth of skincare services, including injectables, body and laser treatments, and facials and peels. "Technology has come a long way, and we're lucky to have many ways to improve the various symptoms of sun damage," says Dr. Baumann, who suggests patients aim for preventative steps before seeking procedural help. "We have peels, lasers, and energy-based treatments that improve the wrinkles, rough texture, discoloration, and loss of elasticity with little to no downtime." Baumann Cosmetic Dermatology, 4500 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-532- 5552
"I tell my patients to be sun wise," says Dr. Zaiac, director of the Greater Miami Skin & Laser Center, and the chairman of the department of dermatology at Florida International University's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. "Wake up, brush your teeth, put on sunscreen. Then obviously there are three other basic creams that I recommend—a moisturizing emollient, an antioxidant, and a retinoid." Following these simple steps can be the first line of defense in staving off skin cancer, premature aging, "age" spots, and thinning of the skin, which can cause easy bruising. Says Dr. Zaiac, "It is known that if one gets more than six severe blistering sunburns, they have a higher chance of developing melanoma, which is the worst type of skin cancer." Dr. Martin N. Zaiac, Greater Miami Skin & Laser Center, 4308 Alton Road, Ste. 750, Miami Beach, 305-532-4478

Mill Valley sits about 14 miles north of San Francisco in the gorgeously green Marin County. Nestled between Richardson Bay and Mount Tamalpais, this small town rests on marshlands and in wooded canyons filled with towering redwood trees. Mill Valley has relatively wet winters and dry summers, with temperatures that rarely drop below freezing and peak around 90 F.
Surrounded by hundreds of acres of park lands, Mill Valley provides the perfect getaway from fast-paced city life, without actually being far from it's conveniences. The natural wilderness all around instills a sense of conservancy that is a way of life in the area. The idyllic town even inspired Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums and landed a reference in his 1951 classic On the Road.
Downtown Mill Valley offers premium spas, beer and wine bars, theaters, and specialty restaurants. Check out the historic Sweetwater Music Hall and Cafe. Somewhat of a local landmark, it was established in the 1970s as a cultural roots music and food hub. There's also romantic El Paseo (part-owned by rock star Sammy Hagar), local favorite Molina for California Coastal cuisine, and casual Mill Valley Beerworks. There's also authentic and flavorful Thai and Indian haunts that round-out the food landscape in town.
Hiking and biking are the best way to explore the gorgeous surrounding wild lands and coastal plains. Hike Blithedale Summit Open Space Preserve or Cascade Falls Park for easy family-friendly walks. There's also Tennessee Valley Trailhead that leads to a beach, a perfect spot for picnicking.
Muir Woods National Monument protects over 200 acres of old growth coast redwood trees, submerged under a foggy marine climate. Towering trees with shaded trails set the forest apart aesthetically from the rest. You can walk up to the Muir Beach Overlook across the park and take the iconic staircase down to the outlook on the Pacific Ocean.
Dipsea Trail on Mount Tamalpais State Park is one of the most famous, and more challenging, hikes in Marin County. Spanning more than 9 miles and lined with wild flowers, the trail begins in Muir Woods and ends on Stinson Beach.
Tours can also be booked for exploring nature & wildlife on foot, by air, or on horseback!
Sausalito and Tiburon are two bucolic towns sitting on Richardson Bay. Plenty of atmospheric dining spots and unique architectural designs make just walking around pleasant in these towns. Stop by Bar Bocce in Sausalito, a water front hangout with excellent food, local beer and wine, and outdoor seating. There's a fire pit and bocce court with sweeping views of the Bay on the back patio. Afterwards, stroll down the main road between the water and town for ice cream, coffee, and more scenic viewpoints.
Mill Valley is a quick trip across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. There are several famous must-see neighborhoods in the city, including Fisherman's Wharf for seafood markets, North Beach for Irish coffee and Italian food, Chinatown for dim sum, and Coit Tower for 360 views of the city. You can also tour the infamous Alcatraz Island. Discover the iconic prison and the island's historical roots in Northern California!
Rodeo Cove, a pebbly beach with hiking trails overlooking the ocean, resides on the edge of the Marin Headlands. After picnicking there, stop by the Marine Mammal Center and Golden Gate Bridge overlook for grand views of the bridge, city, bay, and Pacific Ocean. You can wrap up your day with seafood in Sausalito on Richardson Bay.

Hotel del Coronado
The Hotel del Coronado (affectionately referred to as 'The Del') is a majestic building that has been gracing the San Diego coastline for more than 125 years – its iconic red-top is a fitting splash of color between the vibrant blues of the sky and the Pacific Ocean. In addition to its luxurious new Beach Village, the original hotel is comprised of Victorian architecture, meaning the rooms are unique in size and shape, something that adds even more charm to this much-loved bolt hole.
Sitting proudly amid 28 acres of beautiful oceanfront land, Hotel del Coronado is right on the Pacific coast and set against beautiful Coronado Central Beach. The iconic structure is the centerpiece of Coronado, a picturesque community located right across the bay from Downtown San Diego. Its location creates a deft balance of relaxed beach charm with city life, which is what San Diego is all about. Just 15 minutes south of the city's international airport, this idyllic beach escape couldn't be easier to get to.
Your Room
Whether you choose to be in the historic Victorian building or one of the newer abodes throughout the rest of the resort, you will find classic, refined décor that truly captivates the beachfront setting of the hotel. Your room will be light and airy, so you can let the outside in while you recline on your sumptuous bed. And if you're going with family in tow, book the Octopus Suite, where the children will have a fun, sea themed room.
Why we like it
The Del hits the spot when it comes to laidback luxury; it epitomise the SoCal lifestyle. There's a lot to like about this place, but we really loved the private beach bonfire they offer. Tuck your toes into the sand, wrap a shawl over your shoulders and look out over the sparkling water as day turns to night. The hotel will provide you with everything you need for roasting s'mores on the open fire, with crackers, jumbo marshmallows and Hershey's chocolate. Not literally the icing on the cake, but definitely a very sweet (and special) treat.

Been a little behind on the toy news but this year is quite the year to add to your collection. First up (possible leak), Bandai USA has a new Godzilla 2014 vinyl in the 6.5 series. My source mentions a mystery monster is in the works if approval goes through. *Cough Muto? cough * Release date is said to be September 2014.
Not from my childhood but those from the 70s / 80s will re-live their childhood with Toynami's MosuGoji update on the classic Shogun Warriors Godzilla. It contains the shooting fists and I assume the tongue/fire effect.
Mecha-King Ghidorah joins the S.H. MonsterArts line in February 2015 and he is looking spectacular! MKG is one of the last Heisei kaijus left in the Heisei universe. Will Rose Biollante, regular Rodan, Godzillasaurus, Baby Godzilla, and the Dorats see the day of light? Only time can tell but I'm ready for a SHMA Orga and Megaguirus.
Got 1.5 million to spare? Celebrating 60 years of Godzilla comes this 24K gold Godzilla. What an amazing piece. It appears to be the X-Plus 25cm Godzilla 1989 figure however this has not been confirmed.
NECA reveals their Godzilla 1984, Scaler figure, and the packaging for Godzilla 1994. The packaging appears to be using the 1954 Bandai USA figure which is rather odd than using a photo of the original Godzilla. Now on to the 1984 Godzilla... what the heck happened!? Whoever at NECA and Toho who approved this sculpt should be fired.... It looks nothing like Godzilla... Such a disappointment on an highly anticipated release from fans.
However it looks like NECA redeems themselves with their new Otachi figure coming in November 2014. This figure nails all the details of the highly sought after Kaiju which for some reason did not get any figure or statue representation til now. NECA also an 18" Cherno Alpha, a new 18" Gypsy Danger with plasma cannon, non Battle Damage Knifehead, plus Jaegars and Kaijus from the opening sequence from the movie at SDCC.
Diamond also has added Jet Jaguar, Mecha Godzilla, and Hedorah to their Minimates box set. Looks like Godzilla gets a blue flame and is black instead of green.

These photos of the 6 Days Berlin 2011 by sports photographer Kerstin Winterkamp is nothing short of amazing. We can't stress enough how stunning these photos are. Well composed, shot and edited. Of course, these photos has gone under some serious post processing but you can't deny the high quality and stunning composition of these photos. We have never seen the 6 Days in such a gritty fashion. Moreover one of our favorite shots are those of the surroundings, and the inanimate things usually taken for granted by photographers. It makes for quite a compelling story. Generally though, these photos follow the lives of Leif Lampater and Christian Grasmann, so take a peek at what goes in and out of the 6 Days Berlin. Unfortunately though, there are no photos of the Hooters style ladies surrounding the velodrome.
6 Days Berlin1 Feb
Cali25 Jan
So last December 16-18,2010 while we were all merry making somewhere along the coast of Washington, the world's best riders met at this little, cozy place called Cali located in Colombia. The event: The UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics. If you were up to date with all the track cycling news, then you've already read about it, seen some footage and feel the news is so last year which.. it actually is. Unfortunately though, for the casual track cycling fan it's hard to get some decent footage and coverage of this event. Until now, it seems in our humble opinion this event remains underreported. Despite the high profile riders joining, it's very hard to find some exciting videos of the event. Worse, by the time the news is reported on TV, it's already late and everyone knows the results. Some countries are lucky to receive live coverage but even the live coverage is somewhat poorly received. We decided to wait out until we can find a couple of decent footage and so by some mere chance, our very reliable friend of ours, Danny, was kind enough to show us grabbed videos of the events as well as some vertigo inducing shaky cam amateur footage from the velodrome itself. But anyway, at least we got a good look at the event. Now there really is nothing much to say about it except that somehow, the US cycling team makes a very strong showing here. Still not enough to beat the other countries but surprisingly good. Despite some crashes, the events went smoothly. You can check out the results HERE.
As usual, the same teams made it to the podium which includes our current bet for best performing team for 2011, the French team. The British also performed well proving that they are still a very formidable team. The team from Colombia performed really well showing that they too deserve to host this kind of event. Now, here are some photos of the event courtesy of Nuestro ciclismo, and copa mundo pista cali. All in all, this is very late news and you could probably read in depth analysis about the individual events elsewhere. Then again, all we can say is that, yep, the US cycling team is getting the hang of it. And hopefully in the future, they'll make it to the podium of every event.
Red Bull Mini Drome Event19 Jan
Now here is one event that is quite novel and fresh. It's kind of like mini track cycling. Mini in the truest sense of the word. The event isn't taking place on a velodrome but rather in a minidrome, a specially constructed banked track. The Red Bull Mini Drome was held last week and here's a video of how everything looks like. Looks a bit gimmicky and silly but we wager this is so much fun.
The 6 Days by Horst Brozy16 Jan
We've already featured Horst Brozy's works in this blog before and we can't emphasize enough how stunning it all is. Here is the world of track cycling viewed in a completely different light and no less than through an eye of a brilliant artist. We're already loving his works and can't seem to get enough of it. View more of the artworks in the gallery below and try not to drool so much.
ILT Festival of Speed10 Dec
Way back during our time in New Zealand, we spent much of our work in Invercargill. This place, considered by many as the southernmost city in the region is known for having the only indoor velodrome in the country. Thus this is where the best of New Zealand's track cyclists are formed and developed. One velodrome for a country brings both advantages and disadvantages but needless to say in a country as small as New Zealand, a single velodrome allows an amazing sense of community for the track cyclists. Heck, this must be the most tightly knit internationally competing world class track cycling community we've ever seen. The velodrome is maintained by the Invercargill Licensing Trust thus the ILT which sponsors this event along with Cycling Southland. The event was held last December 7-9 and despite the humble beginnings as chronicled HERE the support it got was pretty good which goes to show New Zealand is very supportive of this sport. Moreover, the events of the past few days have showed that New Zealand track cyclists are definitely one of the best in the world. Barely days after the Track World Cup (and winning some events) these same cyclists endure 3 more days of intense racing yet still deliver some impressive performances, one of which is the amazing dead heat between Eddie Dawkins and Simon van Velthooven (who BTW just recently celebrated his birthday last December 8 Happy birthday Simon!) shown by the photo below which ultimately ended with both being declared joint winners. More on the story with video HERE.
This would have been a very interesting event to attend were we still in the lands down under, and we fervently hope this event would grow into something bigger the same way Revolution grew up to be now (which also had very humble beginnings). We also wish such events will be held locally in the U.S. hoping it would grow into something bigger. Oh well, yeah T-town is exciting stuff and so are the Track Worlds but we think it's better for our cyclists to be able to engage in more racing events so as to develop them better. Training is good, racing is better is what a lot of cyclists would think and we tend to agree. But anyway, back to the ILT, we're really very excited at how Myron Simpson and Aaron Gate have developed as madison riders. We remember them as junior cyclists who had a very promising career and that promise has come. Their performance is indeed exemplary and we can't wait to see more of their races in the future.
Here's a photo gallery of the events. (Photos by NZPA's Dianne Manson)
Track World Cup Melbourne Part 28 Dec
Day 3 of the Melbourne Track World Cup recently concluded with an amazing sprint match which ultimately ended up with crowd favorite Shane Perkins bagging the gold, while GB sprinter Jason Kenny had to settle for silver and Teun Mulder of the Netherlands with bronze. In the team pursuit, the Australian team of Jack Bobridge, Michael Hepburn, Leigh Howard, Cameron Meyer rode spectacularly to beat the Russians for the gold. Team GB ended up third against a very strong New Zealand team. It was quite the spectacular closer for this round of racing and for the 2010 season. It will be incredibly tough next year with both Australia and GB proving to be exceptional teams with the New Zealand team closing in and proving to be a very strong dark horse which could at anytime deliver an upset. Other teams to look out for are the Germans and the Dutch who are still riding extremely well despite being overshadowed by the Aussies and the Brits lately. Full results HERE. Video highlights for Days 2 and 3:
Veeral Patel has some amazing photographs of the event mostly in sensational black and white, definitely the classiest set of photographs of the event we have seen. Moreover, at Cycling Tips, he shares his first time experience in the velodrome and the sport of track cycling. It's a very good account of a first timer and excellently recounts a very exciting sprint match. (From Ride the Black Line)
Tyler Farrar and Garmin-Cervélo8 Dec
Now, for some non-track cycling tidbits. Until now, we haven't found someone else to replace Tyler Farrar as our favorite road cyclist/sprinter. We have featured him before and our reasons for liking him are pretty much personal. So we've heard a lot of news about this guy lately but we're more excited by this latest development. If you've been following the latest cycling news, there has been a shake-up in one of the cycling teams with the merger of Team Garmin and Team Cervélo. Recently, the team (Garmin-Cervélo) just concluded their training camp in Cayman with positive results as both teams have instantly bonded with nary a hint of tension or bitter rivalry. This is practically required as both teams have competed against each other in previous events and especially now that Tyler will work with Thor Hushovd, another world class sprinter. How their dynamics in the upcoming season will work out is something to be seen. But things look very promising. Here's what Tyler had to say:
"Everyone's always said, 'What's going to happen? What's going to happen?', but I was never that worried that there was going to be this disaster or a feud within the team," said Farrar. "Thor and I were laughing about that the other day. We talked about things quite a bit and we're both really reasonable guys. It's going to be different coming from a situation where we were both undisputed leaders to a team where there's two of us, or even a third with Heinrich [Haussler].
"It's going to be something we both have to adapt to – taking two closely knit teams and turning them into one. That's what we have to do as professionals if we want to win races. This [camp] has been a great way to get that ball rolling and to start making those connections to be close knit as a single team just the way we were and Cervélo was last season." (From cyclingnews.com)
Well, that's definitely promising indeed. You can check out more of the interview HERE. Another exciting development was the possible return of Tyler Farrar to the track. Now that is some delicious news. Tyler will race this December 27-30 at the Burnaby 4 in British Columbia, Canada. Tyler has raced a couple of track events before including the World Cup and his body is built for sprinting so racing in the track won't be much of a shock to him. Unfortunately though this will only serve as a warm-up of sorts for the upcoming racing season. As Tyler explains:
"When the team told me I'm riding the Tour Down Under I had to do something to be fit," said Farrar. "If you're starting racing a few weeks later you can use our January training camp [in Calpe, Spain] to get that first big hit of intensity to get the body moving for racing. I won't have that, the Tour Down Under is going to be that first really hard thing. The track race is a good opportunity to add in a bit of intensity and blow the legs out.
"I lived up in Bellingham, Washington, which is less than an hour from Burnaby, for three years while my girlfriend went to the university there. I spent lots of time up at Burnaby in the winter training on the track and I've done Burnaby when it was a Six Day three or four years ago. I know the guys that organize it and I think it's a really good time." (From cyclingnews.com)
So, his return to the track is definitely just transient but we're still hoping that we might see him again in the velodrome. Given his exemplary performance in the road sprints, he will do very well in the track. These latest developments with the Garmin-Cervelo team is very promising and we can't help but wait for the upcoming racing season to see how this will turn out.

Archant's project to create geographically personalised websites for its readers has been delayed for nine months.
The geocoding project, which was first revealed in May, should have launched by now. Instead, coding work on the system was set to start this week, putting the launch date some time in mid-2008.
Archant development director Ian Davies told Press Gazette the delay was due to a last-minute switch to a new content-management system supplier.
Under the proposed new system, all 80 of Archant's newspaper titles, and the group's glossy magazines, will operate their websites from a single central database.
'It's about the robust development of an entirely new editorial system,'Davies said after a detailed presentation on the idea at Ifra's conference.
Geographical information stored in each article will allow readers to personalise existing websites to focus on stories closest to themselves, and will allow the group to launch entirely new online titles to better serve readers at the outer edges of existing newspaper distribution areas.
'With the increasing pressure on circulation and the huge importance of maintaining audience we can't afford to ignore any parts of the community,'Davies said.
While many news organisations, including the BBC, Sky News, and the Grantham Journal, have experimented with plotting the location of their own news stories or user-submitted photographs on to online maps, few have used geographic coordinates to allow users to personalise sites.
The Norwegian site Budstikka.no may, however, give some indication of Archant's plans. Each of its stories includes a small Google map showing the location of the story described.
Davies said the most important aspect of the proposed new sites will be the ability to personalise websites by displaying stories close to a location specified by the reader.
He said: 'This means I can develop new brands entirely – much more local sites – and populate them from the central content store so that the cost of implementation is going to be low. It's another way of taking our websites beyond the capabilities of the static page."
'User-centric localisation'online would particularly benefit readers who live in suburban locations or between two publications' distribution areas, Davies said.
'In print, those parts of the community are what you might regard as peripheral – imagine calling someone in your audience peripheral. With free distribution products, they can sometimes be completely ignored as being uneconomic to serve.
To make the system work, journalists will have to geocode their stories by adding postcodes or GPS coordinates to stories as they create them, Davies explained.
'We know that capturing this location data is going to require a change of thinking from our reporting staff, but it's just one of the many tasks that are part of the changing role of a local journalist. This will become routine as we move forward,'Davies said.
Archant has created a forum of 20 journalists to gain staff input on how the new sites will work.

RT Ales is art centric brewery based in Cardiff, launched November 2016.
We love beer, in fact we're obsessed by it. Even when we're not brewing we've got beer on the brain. Looking for fresh and tasty hops, coming up with exciting new recipes and doing meet the brewer events.
It's not our only obsession though, we love art. Whether
its sprayed on the wall of your favorite beer garden or painstaking crafted in the studio. To that end we've teamed up with some of our favorite artists from around the Globe.
The aim. To promote fantastic artists while we bring our fantastic brews to pubs and craft beer bars around the UK.
With several years of experience brewing commercially our head brewer Duncan Illsley had long dreamed of one day opening a brewery he could call his own. Back in 2014 while looking at a rather attractive piece of art sprayed on a dull and otherwise very ordinary phone box the idea formed. What if he could combine his twin passions…
Two years later after a lot of planning and even more scrimping and saving he put down a deposit on the equipment and moved to Cardiff and found premises.
After working furiously to prepare the site for the arrival of the brand-new brewery disaster struck. The week the kit was supposed to arrive the company making the equipment went into liquidation, along with our hard-earned cash.
With no brewery and very little money left things were looking bleak. While looking for some second-hand vessels Duncan spoke with many other breweries and told them his tale of woe.
The brewing industry being kind and community spirited they were only too happy to help. So, with donated bits of kit, second hand vessels and a lot of hard graft from friends and family in November 2016 the first casks rolled out the door.
Since then the beer has been well received with pubs and bars in Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, Gloucester and even London stocking our brews.
With over seven thousand pints sold in the first three months things are going well, but we want to expand. We've set up a crowd funding page because we need you help to do it.
Our beer is currently only available in casks. Great for pubs but not so good for those you who like to enjoy a tasty beverage at home. We want to start bottling and kegging our beers so our loyal customers, hopefully you, can enjoy the beer at home and chilled on keg through the summer.
We're also are still brewing on our very basic budget kit. We manage but it does means we have work twice as hard. If we can raise the capital to do more than just get the beer into bottles and kegs we'll be investing in some more efficient kit.
By becoming one of our backers you'll receive one of our exclusive rewards and become part of RT Tribe.
If you would like to show your support and be a part of RT Ales continuing success why not have a look at the pledges. Ranging from £10 – £2,000 there's something for everyone. Not only are they a great way to get involved they make the perfect gift for the beer lover in your life.
Spent all your money on beer? You can still help! Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and share our content. You could also rate our beers on Untapped. If you think you might be able to help in some other way get in touch and let us know.
Thanks for you continuing support. See you at the bar!

Meat-eating dino that had teeth like "steak knives" identifiedDecember 13th, 2007 - 4:28 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 13 (ANI): Fossil experts have identified a new species of meat-eating dinosaur, which is larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex, from the remains found in North Africa.
The study, led by Steve Brusatte, a student at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, stated that the formerly unknown dinosaur, named as Carcharodontosaurus iguidensis, grew up to 45 feet long and used huge steak knife teeth for slashing through prey.
"It was just a completely ferocious animal. The teeth of this guy were enormous. They were the size of bananas, but they were very thin teeth," National Geographic quoted Brusatte, as saying.
The dinosaur's skull was about 5.5 feet long and was relatively lightweight given the animal's size.
Brusatte's study is based on 95-million-year-old skull, jaw, and neck fossils, which were found in 1997 in Niger.
The remains were unearthed during an expedition led by study co-author Paul Sereno, a National Geographic Society Explorer-in-Residence and a palaeontologist at the University of Chicago.
When the discovery was made, Sereno's team had identified the fossils as belonging to the genus Carcharodontosaurus.
"There are five or six key differences in the skull, the snout, and the bones that surround the brain," Sereno said.
Brusatte said that the finding suggests that C. iguidensis relied on speed and used its teeth like hatchets to strike at the neck or flanks of its prey.
On the other hand, the researcher noted that T. rex had a much stronger skull and teeth adapted not just to taking down prey but actually crunching through bone.
According to Brusatte, the new dinosaur is one of "the largest carnivores we know of that lived on land."
The study suggests that the newly described species is evidence for rapid evolution after shallow prehistoric seas inundated North Africa, separating Carcharodontosaurus populations in what is now Morocco and Niger.
Brusatte said that the mid-Cretaceous period when these dinosaurs lived was marked by some of the warmest temperatures and highest sea levels in Earth's history.
"It looks like we're seeing evolution in action," Brusatte said.
"We see it not only in Carcharodontosaurus but with other dinosaurs from Morocco and Niger from the same time period, he added.
The find could help researchers understand how the massive Carcharodontosaurus was able to share its watery territory with a variety of other huge, two-legged carnivores.
The study is published in Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology. (ANI)

Rapper Lupe Fiasco has teamed up with Hong Kong-based marketing/media exec Bonnie Chan Woo on a new multi-platform production house, Studio SV.
The fledgling outfit, which debuts at the MIPCOM market in Cannes next week, kicks off lofty cross-cultural ambitions with docu-series "Beat n Path", which follows Fiasco across China, living out his passion for martial arts and exploring China's hip hop scene.
Based in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, Studio SV's brief is high-end, mainstream TV programmes, digital content and films for global audience "with a mission to foster cross-border collaboration and inclusivity".
In an overnight announcement, the company said it "aims to stray from the norms and traditional boundaries and maintain an edgy disruptiveness, consistent with Lupe's outspoken nature, to produce content with inspirational celebrities and influencers, introducing fans to personal passions which are mind expanding".
Studio SV plans on producing a diverse slate of at least 10 original titles over three to five years, beginning with three titles planned for completion in 2018, as well as seek co-production opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region.
Budgets will vary depending on the size and scope of individual projects, Studio SV said in a statement released at out of L.A. just before midnight on Thursday Asia time.

I was sad to hear that Borders Bookstore filed for bankruptcy this month. A lot of people saw it coming, so it wasn't much of a surprise. The running joke on Facebook is that "Borders was a nice place to hand out and look at books before going home to order them on Amazon."
It's sad but true, as I enjoy the portability of my Kindle more and more, it becomes harder and harder to justify wasting paper for a physical book that will just collect dust in my study. I am taking my new Kindle on vacation and I will enjoy carrying just one slim machine with all my beloved books in it.
As for Barnes and Noble, it seems as though the popularity of the Nook is going to keep them out of trouble for now.

About Bankyondbeatz
Abiri Bankole, popularly known as Bankyondbeatz is a 23 year old music producer born in Lagos state, Nigeria.
His musical sojourn began as far back as primary school. In his words, 'music has always been a part of me, I started in school as young as 6, playing the drums back then'. The graduate of Business Administration from the prestigious Babcock University then ventured into music production in 2010 upon gaining admission into the university. The Afro-juju lover has ascribed his versatility as a producer to listening to his father's music repertoire. He says, 'my father influenced my style of music because he loved almost all the genres of music and that made me understand as well as appreciate all types of sounds.'
This enviable versatility grabbed the attention of the emerging new school scene which had the likes of DRB Lasgidi, LOS and more. Cutting records for this new school bunch, Banky went on to make a name for himself in the underground scene when a freestyle titled Shakara produced by him and laced with vocals by BOJ of DRB Lasgidi went viral after it leaked online. Due to the successful reception of the freestyle, Fresh L and Teezee of DRB added their verses to the song and they released it as an official single of the group. This set the benchmark for more recognition for the rising producer.
Joining forces with another talented producer GMK, and 2 buzzing new school rappers - Ozzy B and Retrodee - Bankyondbeatz formed a formidable movement called Monster Boys. Together they have collaborated with notable names in the industry like Ozzy B, Novakillz, Muna, Tomi Thomas, Reminisce, BOJ of DRB Lasgidi, Flowssick, Rayce and so on. His first ever body of work was released on the 1st of August 2015 titled Legendary Reflections and gathered heat with foremost music website, Pulse NG, describing it as 'a huge production masterpiece.'
The mixtape produced buzz worthy singles such as Regular Pedestrian, My Body and Soul and Ekomiami featuring industry regulars Flowssick and Novakillz. Following the mild success of his debut mixtape, he then struck a chemistry with Project fame 3rd runner up and Soke hitmaker, Niniola as the pair got into the studio to work.
With over 50 songs to his credit, the producer extraordinaire has carved a niche for himself in the Nigerian music digital space as one of the princes of the new school sound. He recently released a project titled Fuego Senoras– an all-female EP featuring the likes of Niniola, Muna, alongside Nigerian rising stars based in different parts of the world - Lady Donli from the UK, Deena O from Germany alongside Eli from Canada with Nigerian based DJ Yin and femcee, AT.
